Fairmont

Fairmont Mayakoba has recently been recognized with the esteemed AAA's Five Diamond Award®, a prestigious honour coveted by properties throughout north America, but bestowed on a select few. Additionally, Fairmont Mayakoba earned an impressive #10 on Top 15 Central America/ Mexico Hotels on Condé Nast Traveler's 20th Annual Reader's Choice Award 2007 issue. We are proud that in its first year of operation, Fairmont Mayakoba's commitment to excellence, warm service and luxury offerings of the highest standing have earned this distinction. The Riviera Maya is located in Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula in the State of Quintana Roo and nests alongside the Caribbean Sea. The Fairmont Mayakoba, situated in the heart of the Riviera Maya, is approximately 42 miles or 70 km south of Cancun. The mysticism and magic of an ancient culture is still present. Serene sunlight flickers and dances on emerald lagoon waters, and the rolling surf of the Caribbean washes the shore creating a natural symphony of sound and smell. This is the heart of Mexico’s famed Riviera Maya. This is Fairmont Mayakoba.

Fairmont Mayakoba’s Mexican home is a unique mixture of interwoven cultures. While the host of free spirits and roamers that have long been attracted to this glorious peninsula have lent to the relaxed local culture a European style and flair for gracious living, travelers can bask in perfect solitude on uninhabited beaches, explore eco-parks or enjoy nearby Playa del Carmen’s exuberant nightlife. Many come to experience Cozumel, one of the world’s premier diving and snorkeling destinations. First made famous by famed French marine pioneer Jacques Cousteau, here the warm currents and coral reefs support a breathtaking pantheon of marine life. Some come to explore Chichén Itzá, one of the world’s new seven wonders, and experience the fascinating world of the Mayans, whose mythology, science and culture can still be felt today. Of course most want a taste of it all: the delicate jungle, the alabaster white sand beaches, the crystal clear turquoise water, the fine cuisine and the spectacular nightlife.

The Fairmont Mayakoba resort has 401 elegant rooms scattered among the main building and villas spread through the indigenous jungle, and 34 beach and lagoon casitas – each one offering guests an extraordinary and memorable view. Guests may rest their the eyes upon the mesmerizing ocean or the sweet sight of mangroves and jungle.

Ritz-Carlton
Ritz-Carlton - Cancun may not be the most authentic way to see Mexico; the hotel district is concentrated on a barrier island, separate from the city, and the admittedly fine beach is not exactly unspoiled — the island is overbuilt and garish, a grab bag of architectural styles, dozens of resorts and hotels in a row. What is available in Cancun is a splendid climate, some gorgeous oceanfront, and, at the Ritz-Carlton, the sort of elegant pampering for which the chain has become known.

The elegance and exclusivity of the Ritz-Carlton goes a long way toward bringing an element of class to Cancun — the hotel's august European flavor is the perfect antidote to the clownish kitsch of the lesser hotels. Service is, as always, sophisticated and attentive, and though the beach may be a bit too civilized—hooded chairs with flags for signaling the help are available for rental—there is something to be said for the convenience of it all. The city is not without its charms, either — there are any number of restaurants and discos, plenty of shopping from bazaars to boutiques, and trips to the nearby Mayan ruins are easily arranged. Then again, it is possible, as at any Ritz-Carlton, go the length of your stay without leaving the hotel grounds, so extensive are the facilities; the hotel features a full-service spa and several restaurants, and even the rooms themselves are palatial, many with balconies or at least views of the Caribbean.

Hotel Esencia - A mere fifty miles south of the glitz and hustle of Cancun lies a decidedly more relaxed section of the Riviera Maya. But usually wherever there are blinding white sand beaches and water so clear you can discern the precise shade of your toenail polish, the developers are close behind. Even this far down the coast, the discriminating traveler needs to do a little legwork to escape the generic experience of the all-inclusive chain resort. Enter the Hotel Esencia, an intimate 29-room beachside escape, an antidote to the tacky high-rise hotels springing up on Mexico’s Caribbean coast.

The main structure at the Esencia, a converted home of a European duchess, houses a handful of guest rooms. The majority of guest quarters, however, are situated in free-standing beach cottages with extra amenities like private pools and butlers. Whatever the extent of your splurge, though, you’d have to be a duchess yourself not to feel pampered at the Esencia. All of the rooms are swathed in pristine white Egyptian cotton and accented with trappings of the sea: chunks of coral, pieces of driftwood. Exquisite little gardens, hammocks for a lazy afternoon, airy terraces for taking in the sea view (the Riviera Maya’s main attraction) – each of the guest rooms is slightly different but all of them are simple and simply lavish. Like other resorts in the area, the Esencia organizes excursions like snorkeling, horseback riding, jungle walks, and windsurfing. One unique offering, though, is the organic spa, using principles of ancient medicine. Sign up for a massage and you’ll be taking in the fresh open air and the ocean while you relax on the table. Sal y Fuego, the hotel’s restaurant, serves up an international menu with a Mexican twist. Try the recommended house specialty: fish or meat slow-cooked in banana leaves.
